Northwestern University Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences 4 courses
Double-counting note: This major has both department courses and related courses. Weinberg College prohibits double-counting a department course toward some other major or minor, except where this is explicitly permitted in this catalog. Weinberg College allows double-counting a related course toward some other major or minor. Weinberg College also allows double-counting both department courses and related courses toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits. Majors with strong academic records and an interest in pursuing honors should enroll in both quarters of Senior Research Seminar (SOCIOL 398-1 and SOCIOL 398-2). All sociology majors are eligible to enroll in this sequence of courses and are encouraged to write a thesis. Both courses may count toward the requirements for the major. Students whose theses and grades meet department criteria are recommended to the college for graduation with honors. For more information consult the department website and/or the director of undergraduate studies and see Honors in the Major.
